Exmouth Rowing Club

Wanting to Join?

Exmouth Rowing Club is a friendly and unique club, which encourages both recreational and competitive rowing. Rowing is a fantastic and inexpensive form of exercise, which works out every area of the body. As well as working on all-round body strength, it provides a great cardiovascular workout. Exmouth RC is perfectly suited for all ages, from 14 to 80 years of age. Our clubhouse is the former Lifeboat Station on Exmouth Seafront opposite the Harbour View Cafe and next to The Ocean. Our normal club sessions are Sundays 10am-12pm, Tuesdays from 6pm and Thursdays from 6pm. During the winter months evening training is off the water on indoor rowing machines. Once you are a member you may use the club facilities anytime you wish.

We offer 2 free trial rows during our Sunday club sessions before you are asked to become a full member. If you want to come along and give it a try please email ercstarters@gmail.com. We offer new starter inductions roughly once a month, according to demand, or as tides and conditions allow.

You are required to:

* contact the membership secretary to book a place on the next available session;

* complete and return email a New Starter Form before the session.

During your first session you will be provided with instruction on the basic rowing technique on an indoor rowing machine and then have your first free trial row in one of our quad boats again under instruction from your allocated “Buddy”.

Before and during your first few times in the boat you will be helped every step of the way!

Safety is of paramount importance to us as a club. Please see our safety policies and procedures.

If during or after the completion of your 2 free rows you’d like to become a member please again contact us at ercstarters@gmail.com and we will advise you of the pro rata annual membership fee applicable for the date you wish to start. You will then be required to:

* complete and return a membership form (see below) and return it to our Membership Secretary; and

* pay the relevant fee and advise our Treasurer

Member Testimonials

“Rowing is an excellent form of exercise and I didn’t realise how exciting it was to row on the sea! The folks at Exmouth Rowing Club were very welcoming to me, and I made it into a boat the very same day I first visited. I would thoroughly recommend having a go!”

James Davis

“I rowed at University years ago, and after seeing the red boats on Exmouth beach decided to go and see if I still loved the sport. I wasn’t used to sculling, so it took me a few outings to get the hang of it, but I am now totally hooked! I just love the feeling of being out on the water – no two days are every the same. The people are friendly and I think it’s pretty good value for money too.”
